We're the Only Ones Gratuitously Sporting Enough

The lawsuit (“Gun Trouble,” Mobtown Beat, June 6, 2012) claims that detective Erik Socha and Cpl. Anthony Kidwell led raids on the Bords’ home and auto-repair business that were based on a bad warrant “in order to intimidate” David Bord and cause him “economic injury.” The operations also were undertaken “for gratuitous sport rather than for proper law-enforcement purposes,” according to court documents, and Socha and Kidwell, when presented with all the proper firearms paperwork after the raids, said “save it for court,” that the paperwork was “wrong” or “bull***t,” and “words to the effect” that David Bord “would never get his property back.” [More]
Just a few bad apples, no doubt. I love the way the one punk thug "spilled his guts" and feels like he's been thrown under the bus.

This story is several month old. I just learned about it from Of Arms and the Law, where Mr. Hardy makes a relevant observation.

  1. Sadly, the case didn't turn out as hoped for Mr. Bord. The court granted Baltimore County summary judgment in June and awarded the county costs.
